My growing list for this year.

**janeyo** · 09-02-2009, 02:15 PM

I am a bit speechless.. doesn't happen often lol.

Think I might be as guilty as you though for trying to cram it all in. Maybe I will make a list too.

Are all your toms outside or do you have a greenhouse?

**Finedon.Dandy** · 09-02-2009, 02:23 PM

We have a greenhouse and I grow the toms, pepper, cucumbers and chilis in it. I usualy just grow one variety of tomato but following two years of harvest that has been very disappointing in quality I have decided to grow one of two plants of several varieties. Alot of the space on my plot will house 2 or 3 different veggies - i.e. peas, then spinach so it looks more daunting than it is - I think! or should I say I hope!

Did you get the 2nd copy of the spreadsheet?

**janeyo** · 09-02-2009, 02:28 PM

Yes ta, is brill, even OH impressed. I have started adding my bits and bobs. He promises to read it out one night (when the cows lay eggs and the hens give milk probably).

I gew hardly anything last year and this year seem to have gone a bit mad with all the seeds and planning. But have got more space this year plus nannas garden too.

It's so much fun though

You're going to be a busy woman Finedon

Good luck

**FROSTYFRECKLE** · 09-02-2009, 02:34 PM

I thought I had it bad but Finedon I take my hat off to you

Are you going to shoe-horn everything in?

Ditto with previous Grape - Good Luck!

**Finedon.Dandy** · 09-02-2009, 02:42 PM

You all got me worried now! Go on list your seeds - I bet you all got alot more than you thought you had!

**coreopsis** · 09-02-2009, 02:51 PM

I'm just trying to imagine the size of your plot

Are you growing just 1 variety of carrots?I'm asking because to me it's one of "must must" vegs-you have a big selection of the other vegs,but just 1 variety of carrot.I'm not being nosey,I thought if they won't do too well you'll be left without carrots

**w33blegurl** · 09-02-2009, 03:00 PM

That is a seriously impressive list. I am staring in horror at my list at the moment and its tiny compared to yours!!

I spotted that too - dont know why on earth I ordered only one packet and didnt spot that I didnt have any left from last year as it is the ONE vegetable that my kids WILL eat! LOL!! Hoping I win the snowman comp as the prize is a packet of carrot seeds LOL!!! I am gonna see what I can pcik up in the supermarket etc.

**Eyren** · 09-02-2009, 03:05 PM

My list is easily as long this year - similar to yours, but more carrots and only one type of lettuce, plus things you haven't mentioned, like shallots (2 varieties), potatoes (5 different kinds) and about 8 types of garlic. Thats on a 3-pole plot plus two 1m x 2m raised beds, two mini-greenhouses, two hanging baskets and a bit of patio space

I should point out that for larger things like potatoes and courgettes, I usually end up with only one or two plants - I sell my excess plants on at work, which covers my cost in buying seeds of multiple varieties

I try not to come up with a list of what I would like to grow as I know it never works out and I always run out of space. I have just gone through my list of unopened packets of seed and came up with 161 different varieties, obviously not all are going to get sown. That didn't include stuff like peas, beans, sets and potatoes.

I had to reduce my list-somebody has to dig the plot over-so after going mad with seeds I asked myself a question "what do you want to eat"rather than "what do you want to grow"(endless).

**danmon_81** · 09-02-2009, 04:41 PM
